Canon Speedlite 199A
Canon Speedlite 199A Bounce Dedicated Auto Flash Unit
Powerful shoe mount Canon auto flash unit for Canon A and T-series manual focus cameras (usable on EOS and others - see below)
Canon dedicated flash unit
Tilting head for bounce flash
Three auto exposure modes
Full manual control option
Thyristor for fast recycling
Slow synchro flash option
For A-series, T-series SLRs
Non-dedicated on Canon EOS
Also suitable for older SLRs
Fits some digital cameras
This is a great flash for users of the classic Canon manual focus SLR cameras, with dedicated, auto or manual operation, plus a tilting head for bounce flash. Dedicated auto operation on Canon A and T series models such as the A-1, AE-1, T70, T90 and others, with flash ready indication shown in the viewfinder of suitable cameras, plus auto setting of shutter speeds and/or apertures (see below). It can be used on EOS and some other digital cameras with restrictions (no dedicated operation - see below). The flash is in good condition with instructions, synchro cable and batteries.
The bounce flash head tilts upwards for more even, natural lighting, with positive click stops at 60, 75 and 90 degrees. The auto sensor still points forwards, so exposure can be determined automatically with bounce flash. Fully automatic exposure control, with three auto ranges plus manual operation. The auto modes give ranges of 5 to 33 feet (1.5 to 12m), 3.5 to 16 feet (1 to 6m) and 1.5 to 8 feet (0.5 to 2.5m) at f/2.8, f/5.6 and f/11 with ISO 100 film. On suitable cameras (see below) the aperture selected is transferred to the camera automatically. On others you set it manually. Thyristor circuitry provides faster recycling at closer distances in auto modes.
Manual mode gives a theoretical maximum range of up to 56 feet (17m) with 50mm f/1.8 lens and ISO 100 film, and double this range with ISO 400. As usual, actual range will depend on the conditions. Slow sync switch allows the camera to use a shutter speed slower than the normal auto one of 1/60th with the Canon A-1, which lets you balance the flash exposure for the foreground with a long exposure for the background. Powerful guide number 30 (meters) and 100 (feet) with ISO 100 film. Film speeds can be set from ISO 25 to 800. Ready light/test button provided. Auto check light confirms correct exposure after test or exposure. Comprehensive control dial on the rear can be illuminated for use in low light - handy for a flashgun.
